3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash at banks and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
3.2 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, and net realisable value.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The perpetual method is used to record inventories, which are valued as follows:
Raw materials, consumables and goods for sale
- cost of purchase on a weighted average basis.
Finished goods and work-in-process - cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity on a weighted average basis.
Provision for obsolete inventories
An inventory provision is created for the estimated loss arising due to the impairment of value (through diminution, damage, obsolescence, etc.) of raw materials, finished goods, and other inventories owned by the Group, based on appropriate evidence of impairment available at the balance sheet date.
Increases and decreases to the provision balance are recorded into the cost of goods sold account in the consolidated income statement.

3.3 Receivables
Receivables are presented in the consolidated financial statements at the carrying amounts due from customers and other debtors, after provision for doubtful debts.
The provision for doubtful debts represents amounts of outstanding receivables at the balance sheet date which are doubtful of being recovered. Increases and decreases to the provision balance are recorded as general and administrative expense in the consolidated income statement.
3.4 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The cost of a tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the tangible fixed asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, improvements and renewals are added to the carrying amount of the assets and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred.
When tangible fixed assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated income statement.
3.5 Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.
The cost of an intangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of preparing the intangible fixed asset for its intended use. When intangible fixed assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated amortisation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the consolidated income statement.
Land use rights
The advance payment for land rental and the land use rights certificate being issued, are recorded as intangible asset according to Circular No. 45/2013/TT-BTC issued by the Ministry of Finance on 25 April 2013 guiding the management, use and depreciation of fixed assets (“Circular 45”).

Building and structure 3 - 25 years
Machinery and equipment 3 - 7 years

Office equipment 2 - 7 years
Moulds 3 - 4 years
Computer software 3 - 10 years

3.8 Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses are reported as short-term or long-term prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet and amortised over the period for which the amounts are paid or the period in which economic benefits are generated in relation to these expenses.
Prepaid land rental
The prepaid land rental represents the unamortised balance of advance payment made in accordance with lease contract signed with Sonadezi Long Thanh Co., Ltd on 6 February 2007 for a period of 46 years. Before 10 June 2013, this payment was recognised as intangible fixed assets for amortisation over 46 years. Starting from 10 June 2013, according to Circular 45, the prepaid rental related to land lease contract with effecting after 2003 is not qualified for recognition as intangible fixed asset. Accordingly, the above prepaid rental was reclassified from intangible assets to long-term prepaid expenses for allocation to the consolidated income statement over the remaining lease period.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding trade discount, rebate and sales return. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, usually upon the delivery of the goods.

3.16 Taxation Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted as at the balance sheet date.
Current income tax is charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except when it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred current income tax is also dealt with in equity.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right for the Group to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred income tax
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the related transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in associates, and interests in joint ventures where timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credit and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax credit and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
where the deferred tax asset in respect of deductible temporary differences which arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability which at the time of the related transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in associates, and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is charged or credited to the consolidated income statement, except when it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in the equity account.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right for the Group to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied on the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Previously unrecognised deferred income tax assets are re-assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
